Quick Overview

Drawing has always been a fundamental skill and
good drawing skills allowed artists to grasp the
reality around them. At the turn of the millennium,
however, the general impression was that with the wide
availability of computers, scanners, digital cameras
and image software, drawing would dwindle into a
marginal activity. In fact, the opposite happened: the
enthusiasm for digital imagery died down and the
ability to draw has become a treasured skill.
